This research paper investigated subjectivity in the severity rating of failure modes within a risk analysis process. Although several risk analysis processes can be utilized, the study considered the application of Fail...

This paper discusses the determination of the reliability index of the power distribution system. The reliability of the power distribution system is strongly influenced by the duration and frequency of the disturbance, ...

Numerous seismic damage investigations have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures tend to exhibit a Strong-beam Weak-column failure mechanism, which contradicts the intended Strong-column Weak-beam ...

Abstract For dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) involving nickel-based weld metal (WM) and ferritic heat resistant steel base metal (BM) in power plants, there must be an interface between WM and BM, and this interface suffer...

Abstract Objective: Yellow September (YS) (Setembro Amarelo) is a Brazilian suicide prevention campaign launched in 2015, however, its effectiveness at reducing mortality is still unknown. This is an ecologically interr...

This study analyzes the effectiveness of implementing Bandar Lampung City Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2022 on drainage systems, particularly the application of Biopore Infiltration Holes (BRH), and evaluates it through ...

Abstract Background/objectives Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF), remain global causes of morbidity and mortality, despite the current treatment options. Stem ...

Abstract Background Coffee is among the most widely consumed beverages globally, yet evidence specifically examining its association with heart failure (HF) risk remains limited. The only dedicated meta-analysis on this ...

This research was conducted in a company engaged in the production of cement bags which include pasted woven, pasted kraft, and sewn woven. Waste is still generated on the production floor throughout the pasted weaved ma...

This study investigates the long-term aging effects and structural degradation mechanisms of photovoltaic (PV) modules integrated into smart city furniture, with a particular focus on panels of 10 W, 25 W, and 40 W nomin...

Abstract Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) restores immune function and reduces human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related adverse outcomes. The results of previous studies in Ethiopia were replete with inconsisten...

Periodontal disease (PD) has been hypothesized to influence the risk of heart failure (HF), but the evidence remains inconclusive. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the association between PD and HF. PubMed, E...

Products often operate in dynamic environments, and field failure data is frequently heavily censored, posing significant challenges in the assessment of product reliability. To enhance the accuracy of field reliability ...

STUDY QUESTION: Does a personalized embryo transfer (pET) guided by tests for endometrial receptivity (TER) increase the effectiveness of ART procedures? SUMMARY ANSWER: The use of TER-guided pET is not supported by curr...

Numerical analysis of basal upheaval stability of foundation pits is a very important method in researches on deep excavation engineering, which is in the initial development stage and is of important issues remained to ...

Abstract Heavy-duty machine tools are composed of many subsystems with different functions, and their reliability is governed by the reliabilities of these subsystems. It is important to rank the weaknesses of subsystems...

Abstract Robot hands have been developing during the last few decades. There are many mechanical structures and analytical methods for different hands. But many tough problems still limit robot hands to apply in homelike...

Abstract Existing research on the competitive failure relationship, failure mechanism, and influencing factors of bolt loosening and fatigue under different preloads is insufficient. This study analyzes the competitive f...

Abstract Sun glare during sunrise and sunset and headlight glare at night can temporarily reduce contrast sensitivity and hazard detection, creating high risk driving conditions that contribute to severe crashes on speci...

Abstract Background Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by rapid deterioration of liver function, resulting in high mortality and posing a substantial global health burden. Human embryo...

In the ecologically fragile karst region of Hechi City, Guangxi, unique landforms and human activities have increased demand for multiple ecosystem services (ES), degrading ecological functions, weakening ecological netw...

Abstract Background Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly prescribed in dogs, but the ideal dosage is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives In dogs with cardiac disease, a dose‐response relationship ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex cardiovascular disorder characterized by diastolic dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation and limited therapeutic options. Post-translational modification...

Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is composed of concrete, steel cylinder, mortar and prestressed steel wire, which has been widely used in water conveyance and diversion projects. PCCP employs high-strength conc...
